Bloggiesta Accomplishments

The Bloggiesta is over (at least for me) and while I did get quite a few things accomplished in the 12 hours I worked on it, I could spend a whole other weekend on my blog and still not get through my to-do list!

I worked on four different reviews (although none of them are finished to my satisfaction).

I finished one of my BEA/BBC posts.

I wrote up my Mailbox Monday post for tomorrow.

I responded to some of the comments on my blog.

I created a favicon for my blog, finally, thanks to Trish’s mini-challenge at Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin’? Even though this might seem silly, this is the change I’m the most pleased with (and it took no time at all)!

I had tacos for supper tonight, which seemed like an appropriate way to end this event!

What I didn’t do:

I didn’t stay up all night like I did for the first Bloggiesta and I didn’t stress too much about the things I wasn’t managing to accomplish.

How did you do on the Bloggiesta? Thanks, Natasha, for organizing this great event!

Becky, after too many short nights while I was in New York for BEA, I couldn't afford a sleepless night -- I would have been a basket case. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks, Michelle! I think my favicon is so cute!

Thanks, Jenners. I must admit I wasn't totally happy with Xenu’s Link Sleuth: it produced a huge list of dead links for me, but I had trouble finding some of them on my blog (which is where Link Evaluator came in). I'm still on the lookout for an easier way to find dead links. (It's also possible that I just didn't figure out how to use Xenu properly.) Note that Karin's post linked to a Problogger post that offers several other software options.

Shelley, if you check out Ruth's blog post (at Bookish Ruth, which is linked in my post above), she has links for how to create metadata tags in both Blogger and Wordpress. The Blogger one is super easy to do.
